The Faculty of Geosciences Engineering (FICT) at ESPOL hosted a strategic visit from the director of the Corporación Agua para Todos. During this meeting, academics and experts from our institution presented advanced technologies applied to water treatment, marking a firm step toward innovation in natural resource management.
What is the Corporación Agua para Todos?
The Corporación Agua para Todos is an organization dedicated to improving access, quality, and management of water resources in communities facing infrastructure and sanitation challenges. Its focus is on ensuring that water, as a fundamental right, is managed technically and sustainably to improve public health and social development.
Key Synergy: Academia and the Corporate Sector
Strengthening the link between the university and the corporate sector is a fundamental pillar for national development. This collaboration allows for:
Applied Innovation: ESPOL’s scientific findings move beyond theory and become real solutions that resolve urgent water issues.
Technology Transfer: It facilitates the adoption of cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable processes by companies.
Community Development: By joining technical and operational resources, the well-being of the most vulnerable communities is accelerated.
Benefits for our students
The proximity to organizations such as Corporación Agua para Todos transforms the educational experience of students at the Faculty of Geosciences Engineering (FICT) in several ways:
Exposure to Real-World Scenarios: It allows students to understand the logistical and social challenges involved in water engineering in the field.
Networking Opportunities: It creates direct connections with industry leaders, opening doors for internships and future graduation projects.
Purpose-Driven Training: Students learn to design engineering solutions with a high sense of social and environmental responsibility.
Commitment to the SDGs
This activity is not an isolated event but is strategically aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
At the Faculty of Geosciences Engineering (FICT) at ESPOL, we continue to build bridges that connect technical knowledge with the development and well-being of our communities.
